Lhong 1919

Lhong 1919 feels like a beautiful remnant of something once vibrant – now slowly fading away. When we visited, most of the shops and restaurants were closed. Only a small kiosk, a souvenir store, and the Chinese shrine remained open. The place had a "lost place" atmosphere – quiet, slightly eerie, yet full of character. You can still feel the weight of history in the old architecture and layout. It’s peaceful, with a unique sense of stillness that invites reflection. Not necessarily a must-see on a short Bangkok visit, but if you're looking for something off the beaten path, it’s worth a stop. Interestingly, there were several banners and posters around that seemed to suggest redevelopment – possibly for a hotel complex. If that's true, this charming and slightly melancholic site might not be around much longer.

I really enjoyed visiting Lhong 1919. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place with a lot of history. The buildings are old Chinese style, and they look amazing. I liked walking around and taking photos because the area is very quiet, unique and artistic. The river zone is closed now for construction. Cars aren't allowed to get in.

Cool but deserted two centuries old Chinese marketplace. Except for two small shops and a very cool shrine dedicated to Mazu with century old murals. This market will soon be torn down or at least be made into luxury apartments. Probably fell victim to a certain recent crisis.

It was once a prime example of successful historic building conversion with many shops and cafes. Now it’s completely deserted. Everything is closed. There is a poster saying an application was made to build a Ritz-Carlton hotel around it.

Sadly this historical place will be replaced with a hotel. Most of the stores are closed. Worth visiting while still standing.

Very strange but lovely place. We were alone during our visit. Silence and just some Chinese music playing on the back ground. Probably it was empty and the cafes were closed cuz it was 2nd of Jan. But still nice experience.

I love this place and the neighbourhood. It's so chill. I wish the gov did something more ABT this place. A lot of potential
